As part of its diversity week. The school hosted Dia de Los Muertos or "Day of the Dead" celebration.

It’s a traditional Mexican celebration honoring the dead.

There are decorated altars, lively festivities, food and parties.

Instead of grieving for the loss of a friend or loved one, this serves as an opportunity to reconnect with those who have died.

"Death can be a scary thought but it’s like a natural part of life," said Ageda Machuca, Armstrong Grad Student. "It’s going to happen, so let’s just celebrate those who passed on, it’s almost you’re inviting them to come back."

"Day of the Dead" is typically celebrated between October 31st and November 2nd.
